To put my two cents in, I have been investigating m0n0wall (http://m0n0.com/) for about six months now. I have it running on my home firewall (pc engines WRAP platform http://pcengines.ch) and have loaded it on a number of old Nokia IP330 boxes for testing.
A fork of the project to also look at is pfSense (http://pfsense.com/) which is based on m0n0wall. pfSense is much more flexible in terms of add-on packages, is designed with a failover option, and multi-WAN support to name a few things. Then again how much do you want loaded on a firewall which is a topic for a whole different discussion.
There is active development on both projects and both seem very usable.
